Fun connections if you're into that kind of thing: Robert Morris, who wrote the work, was one of the founders of YCombinator, and by extensions Hacker News.
One of the classic books on the history of computers is Clifford Stoll's "The Cuckoo's Egg". It's a great book in general, and it mentions Robert Morris and Paul Graham, which I was surprised to find when I read it (it's not about the worm, but about a hacking incident).
And lastly, Clifford Stoll is apparently pretty active on YouTube, which I discovered when seeing a video of his for Numberphile, and finding out that it is, indeed, that Clifford Stoll.
